Passing Events From Womans Point of View
The state fair and the horse show
are engrossing the Interest and awak
enlng the Imagination of the va
rious classes of Atlanta's citizenship.
There Is bustle and activity Inside
the turreted gateway of Piedmont
Park. Modern machinery whirrs Its
Insistent claim upon the attention of
practically Inclined visitors to the fqlr;
farm products, arranged with artistic
judgment, tell the story of whet can
be accomplished with plow nnd hoe
and rake In Southern fields; fatted cat
tle and wonderful poultry await tin
patience the award of blue ribbons,
nnd rare and exquisite handiwork gives
evidence of woman'* taste and of wom
an’s lovo for the esthetic side of life.
From day to 'day the crolvds will
Brow larger as each town and county
contributes Its quota, to the aggregation
of sightseers.
Perhaps the Interest In the fair la
augmented by a realization of the fact
that this Is the last state exposition to
be held at Piedmont Park. When tho
gates close on the fair of 1907 the park,
with Its varied and manifold memories,
will be henceforth devoted to the pleas
ure and diversion of Atlanta's big, rest
less papulation. Before many months
have passed away buildings will be
razed and unsightly spots made places
of beauty and delight. Piedmont Park
will henceforth be dedicated to the
happiness and pleasure of the men,
women and children who dwell within
the gates of this marvelous city.
The horse show next week will for
mally Inaugurate the social season. The
odor of tanbark, the exhibition of beau
tiful clothes on beautiful women,. the
display of handsome vehicles and
splendid horses, and, above all, the
graceful horsemanship of many of At
lanta's loveliest young women and pret
tiest children will constitute an event
unique Importance and of pic
turesque Interest.
The horse show of today, an Impor
tant nnd desirable adjunct to state
fairs, has superseded the tournament of
years long gone. Of all the quaint,
romantic cuetoms of earlier Southern
days, perhaps none compared In fasci
nating charm with the tournament,
when brave young fellows, arrayed In
all the attractive garbing of the
knights of old, rode with reckless valor
for their "ndyes falre.” A track, pro
tected with strong, low fencing on
either side, furnished the Held where
knights rode to victory or defeat, while
lovely young women looked with pride
upon their champions and waved en
couragement from the grandstand.
Rings were placed at regular Intervals
around the track, and wooden balls,
called "heads," rested upon posts, be
tween the rings. At the sound of the
trumpet a knight—all riders ' were
styled “knights’’—rode onto the track,
looking ns If he had just stepped out
of an old portrait, wearing the glit
tering paraphernalia which Is supposed
to have belonged to the age of feudal
castles, moated granges and love
lorn troubadours. A herald called the
name of each knight as he entered the
lists, riding n magnificent, richly ca
parisoned horse, and carrying a lance
and a sword. At a given signal the
knight, at full speed, swept down tile
track, with lance taking the rings, hisl
with his sword decapitating the wood
en heads. The rider who had to. hie
credit the greatest numbsr of rings and
heads was declared the victor and re
ceived as a reward for his prowess, the
right to crown the "Queen of Love and
Beauty."
In the evening of the tournament day
came the brilliant culmination of the
picturesque fete In the coronation ball,
when the belles, beauties and beaux
of the state, together with older repre
sentatives of a matchless social life,
lathered to witness the crowning of the
'air young queen by the successful
knight.
After which followed the rhymlc
dance until the ''wee sma’ hours." with
the dawning of the prosaic day the
glamor passed'away and, like the fad
ing of a sweet and tender dream, the
gay tournament, with Its brave young
knights, splendid steeds and the beauty
and alluring charm of Southern wom
anhood, became a memory like unto
those exquisite romantic day* of which
Tennyson told tn stately measure.
The tournament belongs to a bril
liant and wonderful past, yet unrivaled
and unapproached In the social history
of the country.
The horse show, the product of. an
other era. Is here and represents In Its
many delightful phases the Irresistible
fascination and Inspiration of modern
life.
Both In their day and time, the tour,
nament and the horse show, emphasise
the hold that two of the most wonder
ful of God's creations have always had
upon tho heart nnd the Imnglnatloi
of mankind, namely, a beautiful worn
an and a beautiful horse.
The romance of the centuries have
centered abqun both, since the tlmo
when the Arab paid tribute to bis steed
and when knights rode forth to mortal
combat while faithful maidens watched
and waited at casemented windows
down to these modern days, when
Miss Eva Wrlglcy, an Atlanta- girl
and'a graduate of the Carnegte Library
School here, ha* the distinction of be
ing the organizer of the second largest
Carnegie library In the state. Miss
Wrtgley has spent the past month in
Columbus, where she was catted to or
ganlse tho library which will be formal
ly opened there some time In October.
Her work does credit to the library
school here, In which she received her
training, and her success should bo
an Inspiration to the graduates of the
school who are this year entering upon
library work In various cities through
out the Bouth.
The Carnegte library of Columbus
